Thanks onlooker. I'm going to post a new scorecard next week showing the new low price for the year after the EIA report is released.

I've been busy seeing oral surgeons (molar extraction and a root canal re-treatment in the molar next to the back that was extracted, and later this month a molar implant). Meanwhile, I've been working in my garden and tending my fruit trees.

I'm beginning to think that this year's peach harvest may be a bust. I suspect the trees didn't get enough chilling hours this winter. Most of the 13 peach trees have not produced blossoms, at least not yet. February temps were way above normal.

There’s a strange irony related to this subject [oil and gas extraction] that the better you do the job at exploiting this oil and gas, the sooner it is gone.

Wishing you the best of luck with the dental work. A final review after your all done would be interesting. Do peach yields vary a lot year to year based on spring weather and bee populations?

Thanks! I could answer your Qs in the Health forum and Citrus and Peach Trees threads. But briefly, hydrocodone is a wonderful painkiller after dental surgery (molar extraction). I only took it for 24 hours after the procedure. I hate OIC. I just took Advil after the root canal re-treatment.

There have been plenty of bees around here, attracted partially by all the citrus blossom aromas too, especially orange and satsuma. Wonderful smells!

I've observed baby peaches already forming and more blossoms on 7 of my 13 peach trees. I may still get a few hundred peaches this year. We'll see. There could always be a late freeze this spring which could hurt the peaches.

Back on topic, I noticed that WTI, according to cx-portal today, was down to around ~$47.75. That low price (or lower) won't be seen in the EIA report until next week...

I wouldn't mind if the price dropped to $42.61 over the next few weeks.

Of course not. My low of $48.00 is a lot more likely this week though. Where it will go from there I'm not sure of. KSA seems to not be able to constrain itself and that might extend the glut through most of the year. Silly actually as they could just refuse to sell any oil for export for less then $70/b and that would be the price the next week.
